When the two little kids went down, they saw a luxury car parked in front of the manor. 'A black Range Rover! Daddy's back!'"Aunt Bea, we missed you…" The two kids ran out. The first thing Rainie did was hug Bianca who just came out of the car. Bianca almost lost her balance. She squatted down to pat Rainnie's chubby little cheeks. "I missed you too." When the old man saw the perfect family scene, he was overjoyed. It seemed to him that his grandson's marriage was imminent. If the adults agreed and the kids did not hate the stepmother, then there was nothing stopping them. "The two of you, stand properly over there. Don’t drag Aunt Bea that way.” Luke stepped down from the car with his long legs and stared at the two clingy little kids with a serious face. Rainie pursed her lips, snorted, and muttered, "Why is that you can hug her, but not us? Last time, you hugged Aunt Bea so hard that she cried..."Luke, "..."Bianca blushed awkwardly."So you’re the Aunt Bea that t
"Are you... Luke’s girlfriend that he brought to introduce to us?" Susan asked with tears in her eyes. "How’s your family background? If you’re wronged by your future husband after your marriage, will your family be able to support you?"Bianca did not know how to answer her. When Louis introduced himself, he said that he was Luke's half-brother and that they shared the same dad.That might mean that the middle-aged woman wearing the Gucci custom-made qipao once shared the same man with Luke's mother, Allison. Susan looked at the big family gathered together and walked toward Bianca with the stench of alcohol on her."Be careful." Bianca quickly propped Susan up with agility when she was about to fall. Susan leaned on the sofa while being supported by Bianca. She frowned uncomfortably and said, "By the looks of your appearance, I can tell that you probably come from an average family. I advise you to know better and not to marry into the Crawford family.""Go back to your roo
"Oh, it's nothing. I just think that it's a rare surname." Allison was a woman who had seen the world. Even though she was turbulent internally, she looked as if nothing was bothering her on the outside. 'Bianca Rayne.'Allison repeated the name in her head. Bianca looked at Allison one last time. She did not think too much about it. There were many people with her surname in her country, but a typical person would not know too many people with that surname. Since elementary school up to her working life, the people around her only knew one person, which was her, with her surname. Allison looked at her son leaving with Bianca. After his car left, Allison was the only one left standing in the garden of the manor. After a while, Allison took her phone out. She looked back to make sure no one was around her before Allison walked far away toward the swimming pool. She called the person she hated the most. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable…" When she heard
After recovering from the violent coughs, Kevin said, "Can you apply for leave these two days... To visit Luojiazhen? Your grandfather is in the old house, and Marie’s mom might also be going there...""Grandpa?" Bianca was surprised.‘Didn’t Grandpa go to Japan with Dad’s sister? When did he come back?’Kevin held his daughter's hand because he was worried that she would get angry. He coughed and told her everything weakly. After he told her everything, the doctor came in just in time.The doctor was there to do the daily monitoring and examination."Dad, I have to go first," Bianca said.Kevin nodded.She was lost in her thoughts as she tried to digest what her dad told her about Grandpa. She walked out of the hospital.In the ward, Kevin stretched one arm over to let the doctor draw his blood while his other picked up his ringing cell phone. "Hello, this is Kevin." Kevin was focused on the needle sticking into his arm and did not see who was calling before he picked up.
"He is..." Grandpa did not want to guess who the person was. If he guessed wrongly, it would be awkward.Luke walked in with his suit and straightened back. He reached out his hand politely and intimately wrapped his other arm around Bianca's waist. His gesture seemed to allow Grandpa to understand their relationship. "Are you the Jean Langdon that my son told me about?" Grandpa smiled and stood in front of the fire pit. He said, "I tried to remember your name well after Bea's father told me the two of you have been together for more than five years now and that the two of you are getting married soon."Bianca was worried that Luke would correct him, so she immediately interrupted and said, "Grandpa, look how thin you’ve gotten! Were you not used to life in Japan?""I'm old, and old people look like this." Grandpa put his arm around his hunched back and took the fire stick to another dilapidated room.After he searched for something for a long time, the old man took two small sto
Bianca held the bowls and chopsticks. She looked at Luke who was sitting across from her with her sorry eyes. Luke probably hated Jean. When Grandpa called him Jean, even though it felt bad, he had to swallow it for the time being."Grandpa, you should eat more too." Luke did not correct him and made sure the old man ate first.After he picked up food for Grandpa, he picked up two pieces of ribs for Bianca."Thank you." Bianca picked up a few grains of rice with her chopsticks but did not dare to look up at him. She took a small bite of the rice before she bit into the ribs that he picked up for her.It was then when Bianca noticed that the ribs that Luke picked up for Grandpa and her were fine pieces of ribs.It was the type with one single bone and had meat that could be easily bitten off.He ate the backbone.The small town was not fancy, so ribs were sold together with the backbone.Bianca picked up a piece of fine ribs and put it in his bowl. "You should eat too. Don't j
"The owner’s my buddy, so I asked him for a spare key to your room..."From what they heard, the unidentified man Jennifer was struggling from had a wife. His family lived in the small town.Bianca’s hand was grasping the sheet hard.She felt sad for her dad.Dad had struggled for more than 20 years to earn money to support Jennifer and her daughter.In the end, however, Dad was in the hospital enduring the pain from his terminal illness while his wife Jennifer was cheating on him."You dirty man...""Don't you like me being nasty? Anyway, I’m better than that guy of yours who either has this cancer or that cancer... Say it... Don’t you agree...""Ah... You’re good. You’re the best… Ahhh… Don't thrust so hard… You’re going too deep…”"Too deep? I think you can still take a couple more inches in you!" the man said crudely, "You’re at such an old age now. Why are you still pretending… I can go deeper… You’re not that tight either… And I’m the only one who can make you come…”Bi
The manner Allison was speaking in sounded very strange. Bianca was so shocked that she had forgotten to greet her."Where are you? I want to see you right away, Bianca Rayne. I think we need to sit down and talk seriously. It’ll be good for both you and me," Allison said selfishly.When they met at Crawford Manor, Allison treated her very warmly and called her Bea. This was the first time she had called her by her full name, Bianca Rayne. Bianca remembered that when she was five years old, she was pushed to the ground by other kids and ended up knocking her knee under her skirt on the gravel. One of her knees bled after getting scuffed badly.She had cried and gone home to look for her grandpa. She told him that she wanted her mommy and asked why everyone else had a mommy but her.The kids who had mommies always bullied her, calling her ‘little bastard’ and that bastards deserved to be bullied!Grandpa, who was exhausted from her crying, stopped his kind demeanor and had a very
